Feminist "Music"

I noticed that the guy who posted this, also posted "Feminist: I Aborted My Baby Because He Was Male"; (FOLLOW Paul Joseph Watson @
twitter.com... and www.facebook.com...)

What do we really know about this group of women? Why does the YouTuber claim they're "feminists", because they're female? What is it that they're
really doing? Is this some kind of anthropological performance art?

This guy clearly hates women and has an agenda to smear women who speak out for woman's rights. Until I get more information on this group of women
and exactly what that preformance was really all about, I'm calling this thread a HOAX and a ludicrous online lie!

Though I agree this fellow has a bone to pick, hating feminism does not equate to hating women. There are many male feminists and there are many
female anti-feminists. I'd be more careful.

Thanks for the link. I did a search on Feminist Music BBC and came up with lists of musicians considered "feminist" but nothing on the genre of
"Feminist Music" nor could I find anything on the video presented in the OP.

It would have been nice if the OP would have included this information in their OP, instead of just making fun a performance and bashing the ideology
of Feminism.

Alexander [Devriendt, Ontroerend Goed’s artistic director] had the idea that he wanted to make a show with women, but in the very beginning it
was not much more than that. Then we came together a few months later and he said he wanted to make a show about feminism. We were not
super-enthusiastic because we didn’t consider ourselves feminists – or we thought maybe feminism was a bit of a dirty word. But then we started to
work on it and we read a lot of articles and books and we talked a lot about our own experiences, and that’s how the show was created.

There was this other idea from the beginning: Alexander said “I want you all to scream.” Then we came up with the metaphor of a concert. So
you hear voices talking in a very rhythmical way, and that concert metaphor adds to the topics we want to discuss. We’re all dressed up like opera
singers giving you a nice concert, but it’s not that nice. It’s all based on the rhythm – even the pieces of text are very rhythmical.

I see feminism now as being about equal treatment for men and women. When you see it like that then I don’t understand how people can have
anything against it. If I say to people in Belgium now that I am a feminist they’re like, “Are you OK?” And I’m like, “Yeah, sure, don’t
you think men and women should be equally treated?” And then they say yes, and then I say, “Well, then you’re a feminist.” That’s my new
mission: to make people more aware of the fact that that’s feminism, that it’s not such a hard thing to say.

We had a post-show talk and there was a woman who came for the second time and she brought her 15-year-old daughter, and she said “I hope that
all 15-year-old girls see this.” There was also one guy who said that he thinks that the word feminism should be a more equal word to show that
it’s about equality between men and women, and that feminism is a very female word. For me, that shows that if feminism is still a dirty word to use
in this society then this society is still very patriarchal.

Again, thanks for the link. Now I think we can understand what this show is all about, instead of just laughing at the absurdity of "Feminism" the
ideology!

I now love the word feminism. I’ve seen sweaters in the UK that men are wearing as well saying “This is what a feminist looks like” and
that’s what I love, because a feminist can be anyone. I think everyone should be a feminist.

Your zealotry is showing. The video link I posted provided all the background info on who these women are and what this 'performance' was in
support of according to them.

Maybe you didn't listen to the guys rant, which I wouldn't blame you since he's a bit obnoxious as well. Notice I didn't call it Feminist music,
but feminist "music". Clearly it's not music, it's lunacy.

You know who rocks? 4non-blondes, Veruca Salt, The Breeders, Janis Joplin, Kate Nash, Lily Allen. Real feminists, who don't alienate people
from the cause with obnoxious insanity. It's important not to just piss people off with your cause, and guess what, the same thing applies to men
and always has...(think Kanye West, or Tom Cruise).

I agree with your political position, but do you not see that the kind of person you call a 'misandrist' would automatically self-identify as a
feminist? This is precisely the reason why radical feminism gets a bad name; it's been hijacked by women who are not, as you say, feminists so much as
they are misandrists.

And, on the principle that the squeaking wheel is the one that gets the grease, these people's actions and attitudes poison feminist discourse and
distort public perception of feminism.

I am a man. I am a feminist. We're all in this together. Those screaming women on the BBC are tone-deaf idiots. They make a hideous sound and they're
making themselves look stupid. Inasmuch as they profess themselves feminists, they make feminism look stupid and aggressively confrontational, to its
detriment. They have scored an own goal against the values they profess, and against the human race.

I actually was in tears, I laughed so hard!
I almost wonder if it was not done as a joke, with the punchline being the part where they turn the page on their sheet music, as if anyone of them
were following musical notes on a page!
